Book Amtrak via Yale Travel. Actually, call Orbitz (no service fee) at 1-877-ORBITZ-1 (672-4891), since booking not yet automated through Orbitz website). Destination: Boston South Station (Corner of Summer Street and Atlantic Avenue, Dewey Square, Downtown Boston); then Red Line (southwest toward Alewife) from there to Cambridge. Kendall Station is closest to Memorial Drive (where, heading left (West) along Charles River leads to hotel). But still not very close.

ALA New Orleans, June 22-June 28, 2006. Drive between Louis Armstrong Airport and Bourbon St. takes about 26 minutes. Stay at New Orleans Marriott, 555 Canal Street, phone: 504-581-1000. ALCTS: Events by Day and Time.


Makes sense to register this time as member of the press. ALA Conference site has some information on press credentials, but doesn't say how to submit application, or how much the press pass costs. Called Lara at ALA 1-800-545-2433, ext. 5043. She wants me to fax galley proof to 1-312-280-5274, plus send another email message.
